ASH WEDNESDAY,.

The Beginning of the Forty Days of Lent.
To-day ushers in Lent and closes with
many people a very brilliant and pleasant
social season.
The round Of weddings, balls, parties,
receptions, teas, musicales, and theatre
parties has been incessant. Often there
were two or three important events in
the same night, and many felt compelled
TO attend them all. AS rule, the even
ing entertainments have been later than
ever before. Unquestionably, they have
been more costly. This has been great
year for the caterers, the florists, and the
decorators.
For the next forty days these pleas
ures will be in great measure under
ban. Easter Sunday falls on April 10th,
and by that time the gay season is nearly
over for all. SO last night might be con.
sidered a windup until next fall, at all
events until the gayeties ofsummer begins
at the fashionable watering places
For the proper observance OF the
Lenten season regulations have been IS
sued by the clergy, and 1t is needless TO
repeat them here. -,
For to-day there will be services at all
of the Episcopal and Catholic churches
The following are published by request :;
st. James Church-Service on Ash
Wednesday morning at II o'clock, on
Wednesday night at s o'clock, and on
Friday afternoon at o'clock.
Monumental Church-Lent services
this week in this church are: Wednesday,
lam, in the church; Thursday, s pm,
in the school-room; Friday, II m, in the
school-room.
1t is hoped that the season will be one
of pleasure and profit to all by whom its
observance is either pleasure or an
obligation. In no city has it been kept
more in the letter and the spirit by the
faithful than in this city, and there is
every reason to believe that the present
penitential season will be no exception to
the general rule.

Suit Against the Transparent Ice Company

The trial of the case Of j. II. Ferguson
against the Transparent Ice Company
was begun in the City Circuit Court
yesterday.
Ferguson was employed as an engineer
at the ice factory, and on the 9th of May,
1886, while running his engine, had his
left leg caught in the machinery, which
was so mangled that it had to be am
putated. He now brings suit against the
Transparent Ice Company for $500
damages. Messrs. w. II. Sands, G. V.
Meredith, and George Bryan are counsel
for Ferguson. Messrs. w. NJ. Turpin
and Johh Hunter represent the ice com
pany.
Ferguson testified before the jury that
on the day he was injured he heard a
knocking in his engine; in order to find
out in what part of his engine the trou-
bic was he got upon the guard railing
with his foot resting on the pan to catch
waste grease, and while in that position
the pan slipped; the hooks in the pan
catching in his overalls carried his leg
against the fy-wheel crushing it.
After the examination of several other
witnesses, further consideration in the
case were postponed until II o'clock this
morning.

Al Interesting and valuable report From
the New President Of the Board Of Heaith'

Al Interesting and valuable Report From
the New President Of the Board OF Health
According to the annual report OF Dr:
r T. Stratton, president of the Board OF
Health, which was handed In to Mayor
Darlington yesterday afternoon, there
were 1877 deaths in the city for 1856. ~
these 500 were white and 300 colored.
This is decrease OF SO from that OF 1850,
and is the smallest number reported since
1880. 1t Is 81 more than that In 1880 4;
262 less than that in 1881 GO less than
that In 1882; SO less than that in 1883 ;
III less than that in 1884. The rate OF
mortality of whole population was 1857
white, 1880; colored, 21.77 The estimate
upon which this calculation is based Is
100 000-whole pOpulation-56,OOO white
and $4,000 colored.
More adults died from consumption
than from any other disease. This dis.
ease carried off 80 whites and 141 colored
total, 1886 Twenty-Five died from con-
sumption in December, and in January
% deaths were reported.
The next most fatal disease was pneu-
monia. Total "a whites 30, colored %.
The next, heart disease, 81; then con-
gestion of the lungs, 80; apoplexy, 81:
Deaths by violence, whites 30, cOlored
%. Five whites and nine colored were
burned to death. Five whites and one
cslored were killed by railroad accid ents.
Richmond" he says, needs gen.
eral hospital and physicians to attend to
the INDECENT classes" and he is satisfied
that the city can make an advantageous
arrangement with the faculty of the
Medical College.
He thinks public parks are great things
and encourages the planting of trees. The
subject of city sewers he discusses at
length, and with becoming Difference he
opposes the ordinance requiring the Board
of Health to apply to the Chief of Police
to secure sanitary officer. He refers
with feeling of pride to the absence
from this city of any contagious diseases
like smallpox and cholera.
In conclusion, he recommends that the
Health Department composed of the
Committee and the Board of HEALTHY be
empowered to report a sanitary code for
the consideration of the City Council

To be DISCHARGED from Custody.

On November 16, 1886, William NAL
lory was convicted of felonious assault
in the Hastings Court of this city and
sentenced to one years confinement in
the city jail and to pay fine of $50 and
costs.
On February 81 of the present year
Governor Lee committed his sentence to
three months Imprisonment. Mallory
time in JAIL therefore, expired one week
ago, but the fine and costs still remained
to be paid.
1t being satisfactorily shown to Judge
Atkins that Mallory is unable to pay the
fine and costs-about $45 in all-he will
tomorrow probably enter an order re-
hitting the fine and discharging the pris-
oner upon payment of costs, which are
about $50.
